After agreeing with Vextor to go on an adventure, Barbarossa Rugner waits to hear where he is supposed to go. However, no news arrives, adding to his frustration. Days and weeks pass but with no message... however, one day...
He sees a dream. In the dream he sees Vextor standing at the edge of a cliff, beckoning him to come closer. Walking towards the cliff, Barbarossa sees a massive sea of lava. A narrow passageway winds towards a tower in the midst of the pandaemonic visage.
Vextor points towards the tower, "I forgot an important treasure of mine there. I needed somebody ancient to accompany me. Please help."
Barbarossa agrees.
As the two trudge carefully along the narrow path crossing the magma, Vextor loses his balance due to lack of caffeine. Barbarossa quickly reaches out to rescue Vextor from certain death. "Thank you... never should miss that morning coffee..." Vextor says with a sigh.
After a few more grueling hours, the two finally arrive at the narrow tower made of steel. Vextor takes out a common looking spoon and gently taps on the gates of the tower two times. The gate quietly disintegrates into fine mist.
"It should be safe inside," Vextor says as he beckons Barbarossa to follow.
The two climb the tower. Rusty stairs creak as the two climb up. As Barbarossa peers up, he sees something glowing yellowish-green. The two finally arrive at the tip. A simple altar is located at the top of the tower, upon which lay a plastic spork.
Vextor says, "Finally... this is the 'spork of mixing.' It allows me to 'mix things together'... even things that shouldn't be mixed." He quickly grabs the spork and hides it in his pocket.
The two then head out the tower. However, Vextor suddenly pushes Barbarossa off the path, knocking him towards the magma. Vaxtor grabs Barbarossa by his ankle. He then taps his greaves with his "spork of mixing" and plunges Barbarossa into magma!! Barbarossa screams as he is slammed into the magma... but he feels no pain. Vextor then pulls Barbarossa up from the magma.
"Why'd you do that?" Barbarossa questions Vextor, surprised that he is unhurt.
Vextor replies, "That's payment for your help, take a good look at yourself."
Barbarossa looks at himself, and realizes that his armor has turned into a golden hue.
"This will protect you. Of course, I had to grab onto your ankle so you're not completely protected. But it's still better than nothing!"
Suddenly, Barbarossa wakes up...
However, to his surprise, he wakes up wearing golden armor... |

So long as you don't aim for his ankle anyway...

Congrats again to Barbarossa for his great success at going super. Too bad you literally now have an Achilles heel.
